Quinolinecarboxylic acids. 3. Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of 2-substituted-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de] [1,4]benzothiazine-6-carboxylic acids related to rufloxacin.

A series of 2-substituted-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzothiazine-6 -carboxylic acids has been prepared and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity. These derivatives were less active than corresponding desmethylated analogues. Among these derivatives, the most active compound 22a was selected for preliminary pharmacokinetics in rats. The pharmacokinetic data indicated that 22a was rapidly absorbed and induced lasting plasma and urinary levels. In comparison with rufloxacin, it was excreted in low quantity in urine; a significant amount of desmethylated piperazinyl urinary metabolite was observed.

o-Chlorobenzenesulfonamidic derivatives of (aryloxy)propanolamines as beta-blocking/diuretic agents.

A series of compounds 1b-f, 2b-f, and 3b-f having an o-chlorobenzenesulfonamidic diuretic moiety variously linked to the nitrogen side chain of the beta-blocking (aryloxy)propanolamine pharmacophore were prepared and tested for their beta 1-adrenoceptor affinity. For all the active compounds, beta-blocking and diuretic activities were investigated in rats; the structure--activity relationships are discussed. Some of the compounds displayed varying levels of both properties and among these, compounds 1c and 2c have been chosen for further development.

Enantiomers of 8-(3-tert-butylamino-2-hydroxypropoxy)-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H- (1,4)benzothiazine: racemic resolution, chiral synthesis and biological activity.

We report the resolution of racemic (+/-)-1 with (R)-(+)-methylbenzyl isocianate and the synthesis of (R)-1 and (S)-1 via Sharpless chiral epoxidation. The enantio- and tissue-selectivity of such enantiomers, as beta- and alpha-adrenoceptor antagonists, were studied. Compound 1, while confirming the potent beta-blocking activity, displayed a modest enantio-selectivity towards beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors. All the compounds displayed no activity as alpha-adrenoceptor blockers.

[Increase in blood potassium and subsequent normalization: effects on the electrocardiogram. Case report].

Significant variations in the ECG have been observed in a female aged 77 with heart failure and chronic atrial fibrillation during an occasional increase in blood potassium followed by normalization. The major phenomena observed during hyperkalemia, due to a severe dehydration, were a transient sinus rhythm with atrio-ventricular block followed by atrial activity disappearance and advent of interventricular and fascicular block. Therapeutic normalization of blood potassium leads to a progressive disappearance of intraventricular and fascicular block, a temporary sinus rhythm and finally the return to atrial fibrillation which was the steady state of the patient before the blood potassium imbalance.

Synthesis and antiinflammatory/analgesic activities of N-heterocyclic carboxamides of thiopyrano-1,2-benzothiazine.

We report the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carboxamides of 5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrothiopyrano [3,2-c][1,2]benzothiazine 6,6-dioxide, their antiinflammatory and analgesic activities and the attempts to obtain a corresponding sulfoxidate series. Compounds (II c) and (II l) showed a good antiinflammatory activity which is comparable to that of piroxicam. No compound showed any significant analgesic activity.

Quinolonecarboxylic acids. 2. Synthesis and antibacterial evaluation of 7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-de][1,4]benzothiazine-6-carboxylic acids.

A series of pyridobenzothiazine acid derivatives was synthesized and their in vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated. The 1,4-benzothiazine intermediates, which by Gould-Jacobs quinoline synthesis produced pyridobenzothiazine acids, were prepared by hydrolytic basic cleavage of substituted 2-aminobenzothiazoles and successive cyclocondensation with 1-bromo-2-chloroethane or alternatively with monochloroacetic acid, hence reduction by LiAlH4. The pyridobenzothiazine acids 10c, 30, and 31 show potent antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. The compound 9-fluoro-10-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-7-oxo-2,3-dihydro-7H-pyrido[1,2,3-d e] [1,4]benzothiazine-6-carboxylic acid (31) (MF-934) has been found to possess, together with the antibacterial activity, a weak acute toxicity and interesting pharmacokinetic characteristics in several animal species (rat, dog, monkey, man).

Synthesis and beta-adrenergic blocking activity of oxipropanolamines of 3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H(1,4)benzothiazine.

The synthesis of a series of oxypropanolamines of 3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H(1,4)benzothiazine is reported. Some of these compounds proved more potent than propranolol and carteolol as beta-adrenergic blocking agents in in vitro tests. The 8-(3-tert-butylamino-2-hydroxy)propoxy-3,4-dihydro-3-oxo-2H(1,4) benzothiazine fumarate (XVI a), which gave better results, confirmed its remarkable activity in in vivo tests.
